What the hell

[PoisonedIvy]

There's not really any valid argument against Taylor's success. At least come for quality since that's subjective and your incessant arguing can't technically be deemed as unfounded. Objective data doesn't lie though

Well, sure, we can all act stupid and pretend to not know the meaning of genuineness if it makes you happy 

Genuineness: "the quality of being real and exactly what it appears to be"

 

Nothinf to pretend, unless you also want to go against Cambridge now! Any other recognizable institution "Loca" would like to don't trust?

[Julia Fox]

Imagine if this ***** makes fruitcake an album like it's over for all the girls 

[Walk_Away21]

But the bookshelves in Philly!

[Scandalous]

did Sabrina just release physicals of fruitcake?

I wonder if SZA will have a chance to reach #1 if she releases this friday

of course

[R.E.M.]

Wicked being Top 5 is the biggest surprise to me  I was praying for a Top 15 PEAK and it's spent 3 weeks Top 5 already, kinda crazy.

[Cloröx]

OTHs are suffering ahhhhh I love it

Year-End Stats:

Les Miz

#30 BB200 (2013)

#2 Soundtracks (2013)

 

Chicago

#25 BB200 (2003)

#2 Soundtracks (2003)

#23 Soundtracks (2004)

 

Dreamgirls

#41 BB200 (2007)

#5 Soundtracks (2007)

 

Hairspray 

#65 BB200 (2007)

#6 Soundtracks (2007)

 

Mamma Mia

#24 BB200 (2008)

#46 BB200 (2009)

#3 Soundtracks (2008)

#5 Soundtracks (2009)

 

So Wicked will likely be the first year-end soundtrack #1 for a Broadway-to-film-based-soundtrack? The #1 for 2023 was Barbie with 670k.

One of the most stupid things I've had the displeasure of reading here

[Lady Claire]

I hope Rosé does 100k+ but still, solid numbers since Blackpink numbers weren't much bigger than that in the US (Born Pink 102k, The Album 110k). I assume Lisa and Jennie will do around the same, they don't have an APT but will benefit from having a longer pre-order

Your favorite artist has lines like hey kids spelling is fun and we declared charlie puth should be a bigger artist or whatever, you are used to reading stupid **** 

[Calvin]

The random mental breakdown of that loser. Chile, stop being this much obsessed. 

[Calvin]

The anthology vinyl/cd should count as a double album by RIAA. It's probably eligible for 8x platinum then. 

[DevilsRollTheDice]

@Loca listening to Fortnight like, "I hate her, it's ruining my life…"

 

Have some sympathy, y'all. This diva is resilient. Can you imagine having to witness the last 5 years and still trying to delude yourself into thinking that Taylor Swift isn't the biggest artist on Earth? 2024 alone keeps whacking the poor sis over and over. 

[Arrows]

She has fans, so it doesn't count! Fans aren't real people, they're made of wood and clay, unlike Loco who is a genuine human

[piotrert]

this is actually insane. was expecting like 80% drop

[Loca]

Some of you directing personal attacks at me when I just spoke about some numbers is very telling 

[Calvin]

Some numbers:

Taylor Swift is the best selling, most streamed, highest grossing artist of the century. No calculation can change this fact.
